Hey - I got back from Copenhagen yesterday with Jennie after some shit went down. We think we blew up the people responsible. Unfortunately, there's no way to make sure they stay dead. That's not the fun part, though. Apparently, your people were involved in some kind of ship heist earlier this year? J mentioned it, I've got no details. Point is, there was a jewel heist while we were in Copenhagen. J says we were the distraction. A bunch of people died (we didn't kill them). But I figured I'd drop the intel we have on the jewel in your lap, since it seems like the kind of thing you might have better luck researching than me.

So, in the order that I found out about them:

1. The Star. Pic's attached. Acquired by the Danes a few centuries ago from the Swedes. Swedes got it from the Russians when there were Vikings sailing the seven seas. Nothing beyond that provenance-wise. Rumored to be mystically/mysteriously connected to the next item of interest, which is...

2. The Eye. No pic available. All I've got on it is that the Nazis had it. Don't know where they got it from. Mysterious connection to the Star is that, supposedly, if you have them both, they extend your life.

Think you can dig up any information? I'll make you the absolute best breakfast whenever you want. Like four times.

So, not dying of mercury poisoning! Great, right? You're stuck with me for the foreseeable future. Which means I'm totally hitting you up for intel on some potentially Russian stuff. Like, Viking Era Russian stuff. You ever heard anything about jewels/gems called the Star and the Eye? They're supposed to be connected somehow. Allegedly, if you have both of them, they extend your life. I don't know about all that, but it does seem that the Star is what the creepers in Copenhagen were after. Me and J were a distraction. Or the killings that took us there were a distraction. Kept the police occupied while the heist went down. Only thing taken from the Danish National Museum. Anyway, the Star's supposed to've come out of Russia, so it follows that the Eye was probably there, too, given their connection. We can check this out once you're stateside, I just figured I'd see if you could think of anything off the top of your head.

Sorry for the delay, I seem to have developed a habit of immediately closing any e-mails these days that start with 'Right up your alley'...(I kid. Mostly.)

Of course something that could potentially extend your life has Nazi ties to it. Of course it does.

The Star is, obviously, going to be the easiest to gather intel on. I'll scrub all the details about 'explosions' and 'shit going down' when I reach out to a few of my contacts.

I'm CCing Amanda in so we can pick her brain as well.

I have a breakfast tally that I am keeping now.

No problem. I was making sure I wasn't dying of mercury poisoning. I'm not, so that's good. I figured I could give you guys a rundown of the guy I faced as well as the intel I have on the guy J handled. Like I said, no way to make sure they're dead-dead instead of only-sort-of-dead.

I've tapped a friend with Russian connections to see if there's anything they know, but chances are slim given the time frame of 'Vikings.'

And hey, I only owe you four breakfasts, I totally already paid you the other breakfast!

(Hey, Amanda. I can totally make you something food-related, too, but we'll probably want to sort of stick to breakfast. Or one-pot meals.)

Means I don't have to cancel that monthly vodka order. Doesn't ring an immediate bell but Russia was very full of holes for a long time. Not surprised things slipped in and out with little to no record. I'll see what I can dig up. No promises. My more...esoteric sources don't always want to come out and play.

Mailed Buckybear to you. He wanted to be Stateside for Thanksgiving.

That monthly vodka order is a lifesaver, seriously. I don't even know how people drink the other stuff. I had to educate one of the guys here. He was drinking Серебряный Замок that he bought from the tracksuit mafia.

Just keep me posted on anything you might find. I've got a couple people here who're poking around their own sources. And it's not like we need the intel immediately or anything.

Sweet, me and Buckybear are gonna demolish some of Steve's stuffing. It is gonna be so delicious. Yes, I'm freezing you some so you can have it whenever you're home.

No. I will hunt all bottles of that down and use it as lighter fluid. I will have some in a flask and anyone who deems that worthy to drink will be considered a demon and then be roasted Winchester style.

This op can't end soon enough.

I can't even say that that would be a bad idea. I mean, Christ. But he seemed to get that the better vodka would get him drunker with a less terrible hangover as the result the next day. So there's that. Educating the world about quality vodka, one young person at a time.

I'll make you pancakes when you get back. You can even pick which inappropriate breakfast pan I use.
